The NDMP connection is not successfully authorized on host

Question

Hi there,

We have NetApp filer, and we are backing up theis filer via NDMP, we are trying to configure a client to backup the filer.

when we run the backup we get this error:

1 retry attempted
42597:nsrndmp_save: connect auth: connection has not been authorized
42610:nsrndmp_save: The NDMP connection is not successfully authorized on host 'stg02'.
42884:nsrndmp_save: Not able to connect or authorize the client 'stg02'

Would you please help me to fix this issue/

Many thanks

Hi,

This looks like a username and password problem. Check that you have a valid username and passwort for the filer in the Client definition in NetWorker:

Thank you Bobby for your response, yet I still need your help.

When I clicked on the link you provide me, I found that:

NDMP client configuration must have the following fields defined
1. Remote User:root
2. password:password-of-the-NDMP-server(Filer)

Is this the user name and password?

If not where can I find the user name and password for my filer?

Many thanks Bobby
